Memorial Day Rib Cook

[BuckeyeJ07]

Good Morning everyone. While raising a glass to America’s fallen, I’m doing my first rib cook on the smoker— five racks but can’t decide between Hickory or apple. Leaning Hickory. Updates coming throughout the morning.

hickory gives a heavier smoke flavor but apple gives a slightly sweeter smoke flavor,I use both and sometimes a combo for my smoked polish.

Thanks I’ll give the combo a shot. So far we’re off to a good start.
